Thinking in his mind, a withered shadow galloped over from the distance of the bamboo forest. With a look of shock on his face, the immortal old Taoist followed him to freeze on Qin Shi and said in surprise: "Little brother, was it you who broke through just now?"
Qin Shi smiled and shrugged: "Otherwise, does the old man think that someone else can break through this golden wire enemy-killing formation and enter this bamboo forest in the Duck Pond?"
Although he had been prepared for it, after receiving Qin Shi's affirmation, he still showed some surprise: "It's really incredible. Six days ago, I didn't feel the slightest sign of breakthrough from you, but six days later, there was no sign of breakthrough." To think that when we meet, we have already achieved a breakthrough. This kind of speed is really admirable and congratulatory, and I feel sorry for myself."
"Senior is joking." Qin Shi shook his head. Of course, the appearance of the immortal Taoist was a coincidence for him, and said: "Senior came just in time, otherwise this junior would also be planning to visit you."
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Although he is not as talented as Qin Shi as a soul spell magician, the immortal Taoist is much older after all. He can also judge the emotions of others based on their breath, so he can see the anxiety in Qin Shi's heart at a glance.
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, but he immediately relaxed and said: "I want to discuss with the senior, can you give me a chance to meet Li Minghao?"
"You want to see my little disciple?" The old Taoist Immortal was a little surprised, but he didn't ask Qin Shi more. He just thought about it and said, "That's fine, now that I have recovered, it's time to go to the City Lord's Mansion to have a look. Well, after all, I am also the little guy’s master, so I have to fulfill some responsibilities. Besides, I also miss him a little, so let’s set it in three days. You can follow me into the city lord’s mansion.”
Hearing this, Qin Shi showed joy. If there was an immortal master to guide him, then his next plan would be much smoother. He thanked him and said, "In that case, I won't bother the old man."
The immortal old man waved his hand: "You're welcome, little brother, then you can rest in my humble home for another three days, and we will set off after three days."
The two reached an agreement, and the immortal old Taoist turned around and left. Afterwards, Qin Shi looked at his leaving figure, and a golden halo spread out from the bamboo forest. Qin Shi was not surprised by this. He knew that the immortal old Taoist was adjusting his body, although He has helped the immortal old Taoist drive away the evil spirit, but the three-year invasion has caused the immortal old Taoist's body functions to decline to varying degrees. If he does not take good care of himself, the root cause of the disease will definitely fall.
In the next three days, Qin Shi had a rare moment of leisure. He was not practicing. After all, he had just made a breakthrough and he needed to lay a solid foundation. Therefore, in his spare time, Xiaomi Cai lingered around him, crying. She asked him to accompany her out to play, but when he thought that the agreement between the two of them had been broken last time, he felt a little guilty, so he nodded in agreement.
The two of them left the Yuangtan Bamboo Forest at night. After all, in the city that never sleeps, only at night can you appreciate the beautiful scenery that should not appear in the mortal world.
Along the market, Xiaomi Cai held Qin Shi on her arm. She was affected by the surrounding atmosphere, which made her smile sweetly. She also stole a lot of spiritual stones from Qin Shi and bought many jewelry that girls like.
boom!
At this time, in front of the two people, there was a sudden collision sound, and a figure flew out from the crowd, like a cannonball, hitting the wall hard, and the rocks caused almost hit the wall. Fortunately for Qin Shi, Qin Shi reacted quickly and easily dodged with the sole of his foot.
But even so, Xiaomi Caixiang still puffed up her cheeks, and there was a bit of coldness in her beautiful eyes: "Drink, is it the one without eyes? You almost hurt my father, get out of here!"
While shouting and rolling up his sleeves, Xiaomi Cai wanted to step forward, but Qin Shi quickly stopped her and shook his head at her: "I'm fine, let's go."
"But...!" Xiaomi Cai was furious.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?" Qin Shi once again threatened Xiaomi Cai by sending her back to Chi Yan, and then Xiaomi Cai calmed down.
Then, he glanced at the figure inadvertently, and saw that the figure was surrounded by more than a dozen disciples wearing the same clothes, who looked like they were from noble families. The leader was a short-haired young man with a look of contempt. He said coldly: "Humph, you overestimated trash!"
Qin Shi frowned slightly when he heard this. It was obvious that the disciples of these families were bullying people, but he hesitated and did not take action. After all, he was not a good person. He had always been very clear about his position. Things like the following are happening in different places every minute. He can save one person, but he can't save everyone. What's more, he comes from outside and doesn't want to cause trouble to himself. No matter how publicistic these disciples are, the most they can do is teach this person a lesson. When a person vents his anger, it's over, but if he intervenes, things may become more complicated, and it may cause trouble for this person.
"Let's go." Qin Shi shook his head and followed him to pull Xiaomi Cai. Just when the two were about to turn around, he suddenly stiffened and looked toward the center along the gaps between the disciples. The surrounded figure actually felt a bit familiar: "Is it him?"
"Brothers, beat me to death."
The leading young man was unruly. He was the first to raise his weapon and kicked Tong Tong in the face. More and more disciples around him took part in it. To them, it seemed that he was not beating someone, but that he was beating someone. Just like a punching bag, just vent your anger on yourself.
This disgusted many onlookers, but most of the people in the market were small traders, and no one dared to stop them. They just sighed and said: "These Tong brothers are really weird. They look weird on weekdays, but today Why are you taking the initiative to provoke Zhao Tianyun? The head of the Zhao family has risen rapidly and is now a popular figure next to City Master Li Tan. The Zhao family has also become the well-deserved largest family in the Evernight City. To provoke them is not to seek death. ?"
"Yes, it's a pity. These Tong brothers usually take good care of us. Although sometimes their sinister words can offend people, they are much better than the original guards who only engaged in corruption and bribery but did not do anything serious. , in the past few years, we have not received less of their kindness."
"Oh, I hope that Zhao Tianyun can end it after he vents his anger."
The strength of the Zhao family disciples is extraordinary, and the weakest ones are in the heaven realm, while Tong Tong is just a guard, only in the Xuanling realm at best. How can he withstand their abuse like this? He will soon be seriously injured and unable to stand up. Then Zhao Tianyun waved his hand to signal the disciples around him to stop, squatted down and grabbed Tong Tong's hair: "You bastard, I think you have really had enough of this life, and you even dare to interfere with my affairs? I will send you to death now. !”
After saying this, Zhao Tianyun's eyes were fierce, and he raised his hand to stab Tong Tong in the back.
This made many disciples look shocked, and the few people in the front quickly stopped him: "Brother, what can you say, he is also a guard. Isn't it good for us to kill him like this?"
"What are you afraid of? If something happens, I will take care of it for you!" Zhao Tianyun shouted displeased.
Being shocked, many disciples were at a loss. Fortunately, the disciple closest to Zhao Tianyun was very smart and said quickly: "Brother, no, killing him like this doesn't actually relieve your anger. Let me look at your The shoes are already stained with his blood. If you want to kill a dog like this in front of you, your hands will be dirty, right? I think it’s better to let him kneel down for you and put the shoes on. Licking up all the blood, and then kowtowing to our brother three times, even if we let him go at that time, he will really be just a dog in the city that never sleeps, with no dignity at all, and a life worse than death, that’s how satisfying it is.”
"Huh?" Zhao Tianyun turned around thoughtfully and nodded: "What you said seems to make sense. I can't let him die so easily." After saying that, he stood up and kicked Tong Tong again. On the chin, he kicked Tong Tong to the ground and stretched his shoes forward: "Did you hear what my brother just said? Lick it clean for me. I will let you go today, otherwise, huh , I’ll kill you.”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Tong Tong, but unexpectedly, at this moment, Tong Tong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Tianyun with sarcastic eyes, which made Zhao Tianyun frown: "What do you think I am doing?"
"I'm watching, how can a dog have the nerve to call someone else a dog? Want me to add shoes to your shoes? Stop dreaming, it won't be possible even in the next life!" Tong Tong roared with integrity.
This shocked everyone, and Zhao Tianyun's face became even more ferocious. Even the disciple who just spoke for Tong Tong became angry: "You ungrateful guy!"
"Okay, I told you to be tough with your mouth. Then I want to see whether it is your tough mouth or my fist that is tough. Brothers, keep hitting me!"
Tong Tong once again became the target of public criticism. Seeing that his upper eyelids were about to close and crumbling, countless onlookers became anxious.
"This Tong Tong is serious. You just have to admit your mistake proactively. You have to hold on like this! Why bother?"
"Yes, by doing this, isn't he pushing his own life into the abyss? What could be more important than his own life?"
A vendor was helpless, but at this moment, a big hand patted his shoulder, making him stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw a figure wrapped in a black robe behind him, looking at him lightly. He said: "That's not necessarily true. For some people, dignity is more important than life."
A few simple words made the merchant startled. Before he could turn around, Qin Shi had already walked away from him and headed in the direction of Zhao Tianyun.
This made the vendor completely stunned: "Is this kid crazy?"
Just when Zhao Tianyun punched again, his vision suddenly went dark. Qin Shi blocked his vision, grabbed his fist, and smiled at him: "Brother, enough is enough."
